Primary outcomes

  1. What is the true burden of hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidaemia?

    Time frame: By end of 2018

    Prevalence of hypertension (BP <140/90 or self-report of antihypertensive use), diabetes (fasting blood glucose >7.0 or self-report history of diabetes), and hyperlipidaemia

Secondary outcomes

  1. What is the prevalence of known risk factors - notably smoking, obesity, physical inactivity, alcohol, salt, and saturated fat intake?

    Time frame: By end of 2020

    Description of prevalence of known risk factors of hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidaemia.

    Dietary salt intake is estimated both by how long a defined quantity of salt is reported to last in a household on average, and from spot urine sodium specimens.

  2. Is infection, notably HIV infection or its therapy, associated with increased risk of NCDs?

    Time frame: By end of 2020

    Description of HIV infection and its therapy in relationship to hypertension, diabetes and hyperlipidaemia
